Dissatisfied Politicians.

The political situation in New York city
does not appear to he wholly satisfactory to
the politicians. There was pretty general
desire few weeks ago that Assistant Dis
tIict Attorney Nicoll should be nominated
for District Attorney As one of the prose-
cutors of the Doodle Aldermen and of Mr..
Sharp, the briber of the boodlers, be made
quite reputation. He is a Democrat, and
wanted the Democratic nomination for Dis
trict Attorney. Col. Fellows, another AS
sistant District Attorney, proved himself to
be the better politician and wire worker
and secured the prize.
The Irving Hall Democrats concluded to
nominate Mr.. Nicoll, and the Republicans
inlorsed him. Mr.. Nicoll refused to accept
the nomination and Endorsement, unless the
Republicans indorsed the Democratic candi-
date for Criminal Judge, Mr.. MARITIME, who
is the present District Attorney. Rather
than lose Nicoll the Republicans Endorsed
Mr. MARITIME.
Now the Democrats are not satisfied
They don't like it because Mr.. Nicoll ac-
cepted an independent nomination, and
some of them insist that Mr. MARITIME shall
refuse tue Republican Endorsement The
straightout Democratic organ, the Star,
tells Mr.. MARITIME that he cannot run on
both tickets, that he must get off one or the
other. 1t remains to be seen whether he
will permit himself to be bpildozed
Some of the Republicans did not want to
indorse Mr.. MARITIME, but the leaders said
that it would be for their interest to do SO.
The Republicans cannot elect either Grim
inal Judge or a District Attorney, but by in
dorsing such men as Mr. MARITIME and Mr.
Nicoll they strengthen their State ticket
They are wise. The success of their State
ticket is all they care for. 1t is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that the Democratic
leaders kick against Mr.. Marines accept
ance Of the Republican Endorsement and
Mr.. Nicolls independent candidacy.

His Name Kindly Suppressed.

From the ASheUille On. c. Citizen.
The only unpleasant incident which occurred
yesterday was the defacing 10 a small way of the
Presidents private car. Mr.. - was arrested
and taken before Esquire A, T. Summey, upon
the charge of defacing and damaging the Presi-
dents car. He pleaded guilty and further stated
that he did not intend to violate the law or to
offer insult or injury to the Presldeut said he
came from South Carolina specially to see him,
that he was Democrat, and that his father was
as good Democrat as lived in Spartanburg
county, and having failed to get good look at
the President, he wanted n chip off his car to re-
member him by. The judgment of the court
was in these words: ut is adjudged by the
court that the defendant pay fine of S. in order
that he may more feelingly and tenderly remem-
Der the President and his beautiful wife, and ut
the same time aid the school fund of Buncombe
county"

The Free Whisky Programme.

Congressman w. D. Kelley, of Pennsyl-
vania, is as well informed as any other Re-
publican leader as to what the course of the
Republicans i'll the present Congress will be
with regard TO any tariff legislation that
may be proposed. A few days ago, IN New
York, he said that if the proposition to re-
peal the tobacco tax were presented as
separate measure, the Republicans would
support it, but that If it were combined
with a measure to reduce the customs du-
ties they would oppose it.
From this statement it is evident that the
Republicans intend to oppose any reduction
of the tariff. They acknowledge that it is
absolutely necessary that the revenues shall
be reduced, and, hence, they are willing to
vote for the repeal of the tax on whisky and
tobacco, but they will not permit the tariff
taxes to be reduced if they can help it,
1t is certain that the Democrats viii not
consent to repeal the whisky tax They have
made up their minds that as long as they
have control of the government whisky
shall not be made cheap while the people are
demanding cheaper neceSsaries of life.
1t remains to be seen whether Mr.. Ran
dali will continue to act with the Republi-
cans on revenue matters, and if he does
whether he can control enough Democratic
votes to prevent the Demo rats of the
House from passing tariff reduction bill.
Ii he still continues to act with the Re-
publicans the only thing the Democrats can
do is to present their tax reduction measure
and let Mr. Randall and the Republicans
take the responsibility of defeating it, The
people will see where the fault is, and will
correct it by sending men to Congress who
will not do the bidding of monopolies built
I'D by the protective tariff.

Reports continue to come from along the
route which Mr.. Robert Garrett is travel
ing, that he is not suffering from any men
tai trouble, and that he is enjoying excel
lent physical health These reports doubtless
give pleasure to his friends in Baltimore and
! elsewhere.
1t is admitted by his physician, who is
travelling with him, however, that for two
! years or more. he has been under a greater
| mental strain than was good for him, and it
was thought wise to remove him from all
exc ting influences of a bus ness character.
| Just before he started for Europe it was
thought that he was in danger of an attack
| of brain fever, and that danger, it seems, is
still apprehended.
The impression prevails to some extent
that Mr.. Garrett is suffering from mental
trouble This impression may be erroneous,
and it is to be hoped that it is. The fact
that his physician accompanied him to
Europe, was with him all the time after he
returned home until he started on his West
ern trip and is with him now indicates that
Mr. Garrett is in condition that needs
constant medical attention. His talk at the
depot just before he started on his present
trip to the West and Mexico aud the fact
that he left Baltimore at all at this time,
when changes are taking place i'll the owner
ship and management OF the great proper
ties in which he Is SO deeply in
terested, are sufficient to justify a suspi-
cion that there has been a want of
frankness ON the part of those who,
being in position to know the truth, have
furnished statements respecting his condi-
tion for publication.
A good many unkind things have APP
peared in the newspapers with regard to
Mr. Garrett which wouldn't have been pub
lished if it had been understood that he was
not entirely responsible for his actions. If
he is really sick man, aud not a snobbish,
purse-proud millionaire, there will be gen
eral regret that an unllind word has ap-
peared in print about hun.

The decision of New York lower court
that woman was a drunkard and inca
pable of managing her property has been
reversed and the action of the court in APP
pointing guardian set aside because the
evidence ON which the decision was based
was given by her physician. The reversing
court held that bis knowledge was gained
in his professional capacity, and could not
be legally used against his patient. The
principle established is a very just and
proper one, but it sometimes makes it i'm
possible, as in this case, to restrain the
victim of morbid app tite from acts very
damaging and disgraceful to herself.

From the Century for November
There is no shadow where my love is laid;
For lever thus fancy in my dream
That wakes with me and wakes my Sleep,
some CLEAN
of sunlight, thrustlng through the poplar shade
Falls there; and even when the wind has played
His requiem for the Day, one stray sunbeam
Pale as the palest moonlight glimmers seem
Keeps sentinel for her till starhghts fade.
And |, remaining here and waiting long,
And all EMBODIED in my sorrows night,
Who not on earth again her face may see
For even Memory does her likeness wrong,
Am blind and hopeless, only for this light
This light, this light through all the years

Mr.. Chamberla'n's Lack of Tact.

Mr. Joseph Chamberlain is getting him
commission to settle the fishery dispute be-
tween this country and Canada. He talks
too much. He pretends to think that any
treaty which he has a hand in making will
be rejected by the Senate. His alleged rea
son for so thinking is that the Irish people
do not like him, and as they are influential
in this country they will endeavor to defeat
the treaty to spite him. He is mistaken.
The Irish people III this country may not
have any love for him, but they will raise
no opposition to the treaty if it prove to be
what the American people want The SEN
ate will deal with the treaty OH its merits.
The fact that Mr. Chamberlain is regarded
as an enemy by the Irish people will not be
taken into account when the question of
ratifying it is considered.
There is another matter which Mr.. Cham
berlain has been talking about 1t is that
of a commercial union between this
country and Canada. He says that Eng
land might as well agree to separation
from Canada at once as to con-
sent TO such union, because it would
virtually deprive her of whatever
benefits she now enjoys from her
connection with Canada. That being Mr..
Cbamberlains view of the matter, it is evil
dent that the commission will do nothing
toward bringing about freer commercial
relations between this country and Canada.
The impression appears to be growing that
the selection of Mr.. Chamberlain as one of
the commissioners was not a happy one.

Mr. Edwin B. Haskell has severed his

the other two-thirds being owned by Messrs.
Pulsifer and Andrews. Mr.. Haskell has

and to study and travel. He is only little
past so years of age and is in the enjoyment

sifer aud Mr.. Andrews bought the Herald
when it was worth very little. They have

England that the New York Herald does in
